Jaya The Cat - Voice Of The Poor lyrics

rate me

And when you said it was gonna be alright<br />

We almost believed you<br />

<br />

It's the voice of the poor<br />

In a dying land<br />

The drunken the drugged and the damned<br />

Emergency broadcast straight outta babylon system<br />

As the night comes in<br />

And it seems like sometimes<br />

That you're never gonna win<br />

And it all comes apart in the end<br />

<br />

Punch the clock and you suffer in silence<br />

Knifemarks on the barstool spell out your sentence<br />

The table's fixed so take what you can get<br />

They comp your drinks while they steal your chips<br />

It's just a handout given with a fist<br />

Forced inoculation from self improvement<br />

Sometimes you take just what you can get<br />

And if you rock the boat only you get wet<br />

You want answers? so the fuck do I! <br />

You got problems? get the fuck in line! <br />

And this world seems wicked and unpure<br />

Everyday you wake up it's just like a war<br />

<br />

It's the voice of the poor<br />

In a dying land<br />

The drunken the drugged and the damned<br />

Live and direct thru the radio silence<br />

Out into the emptiness<br />

<br />

And as the rain falls over the faithless<br />

I know there's a way but I just can't explain it<br />

Nothing to offer nothing to give<br />

Happiness in this world is so goddamn expensive<br />

Lockdown the borders but the lines stay open<br />

Mainframe is hacked and the code is broken<br />

Shots ring out in the financial district<br />

As the words of the profits are twisted<br />

They died for your sins but the bills keep comin' in<br />

And it's never gonna end.
